Orbital is playing 2010!

[iammrcandyman]

I'm actually stuck on the idea of what to do during orbital. I want to pop some beans one of the three days but i don't know which day or when to do it. I kinda want to save it for orbital but that's going to be the last act of the last day...

Advice?

Also I think this is the only thread that hasn't turned into some debate. Proof that Orbital is the fucking shit.

Rolling for this would be otherworldly. Last summer I was a bit tipsy and they floored me, no drugs, and knowing what to expect coming in. This time around I intend to utilize enhancers but in no way are they necessary.

To each their own. Just make sure you'll be able to remember some of it. Though youtube could probably fill-in any gaps. Haha.

Wowz, i was just looking at previous setlists from last year, and it looks like we're in for a treat! Lots of Brown Albumlove..and they even throw in some Moebius. I'm so excited! This is a great way to close out coachella

So Orbital blew up in the late 80s early 90s London rave scene. Their music is very well arranged and uses a lot of difficult texturing, more so than than their techno contemporaries. But they really shine live, doing a lot of their mixing and sequencing on the fly. That leads to a lot of improvisation within the framework of their songs. The pictures below are of their current live rig.

Essentially they're the cream of the 90s rave scene crop, talented producers and even better live performers. But, their sound is a little dated compared to the warping etc. so common in contemporary electro and fidget-house currently dominating the scene. It took me a few runs through a couple of their albums for it to click but once it did, spectacular. Tracks like Remind, Satan, Chime, Dr. ?, Technologicque Park, You Lot, The Box, Lush 3 etc. are so, so good.

Current live setup pictures. With new tech, like laptops:











Look at all those buttons! Fun!

Jeff, how many times are you gunna post those pictures of their equipment? Its becoming the new Brandon Flowers

[sbessiso]

Also, I ask you kind kind thread, will someone do me the massive favor of sending me some Orbital? Im ready and willing to take it

[Monklish]

Dude, there are links right here in this very thread. On this very page. Are you so lazy that you insist someone PM you the link? You can't click on it on your own?

[sbessiso]

mustve missed it

[sbessiso]

douchebag

[Monklish]

I just don't understand why you need to whine for other people to take the trouble to upload shit for you. The internet has every single album ever available for download. It's called Bittorrent. Fuck, I'll tell you how to set it up. It's awesome. Why are you living in 1999?

[LunaVC]

Orbital can suck on my creamy British ass hole

[BlackSwan]

I hate when I am so blissfully fucked up at a great show that I can't really remember it the next day. I am worried the Sunday of Coachella is going to be exactly that.

[metalfag]

Way more stoked for proxy and gartner, hopefully boys noize. they will be fun

Why?

That's why. ^

And they're endlessly more sexy than Brandon Flowers.

But point taken.

I'm not seeing a lot of new tech here. It looks like their main boards are the Alesis Andromeda 6 and the Roland Jupiter-8.

The A6 is only a few years old at this point, but Jupiters are straight up retro. It's actually pretty cool that they're still using that. It's an actual real analog synth.

New as in utilizing some equipment that wasn't around in the mid 90s like the macbook and whatever touch pad control thingy that is. But yeah, same other stuff.

yeah. the touch pad control thing is a JazzMutant Lemur. It's pretty rad, but it's basically just a MIDI controller.

It sort of makes me wonder what software they're using. My guess is Ableton Live.

here's some more info on the Lemur, in case you're interested:

also, when Bjork played in... 07, I think.. when Konono No. 1 was with her.. they basically controlled her whole set with a couple Lemurs.

I have the exact same concern. So many rare acts I want to both experience and remember to the fullest. Orbital is definitely one of my top acts for the whole weekend, they were one of the first electronic groups I ever discovered and totally fell in love with their sound. To those who haven't listened to much or have only checked out Orbital II I HIGHLY recommend the ablum In Sides as well. My personal fave, when they play girl with the sun in her head I'm going to shit myself with happiness.
